Come along to:

- hear several different opinions about the DDA's provisions
- be entertained whilst watching & listening to some of the School's finest debaters
- stay on for your opportunity to pose a question or give a brief opinion when the floor is opened to the audience

All are welcome!

The room is accessible to wheelchairs. I'm currently checking that we can have a microphone and if there is an induction loop.

Your chance for a one-to-one careers advice appointment with EmployAbility – a not for profit organization offering careers advice to disabled undergraduates and graduates.  (http://www.employ-ability.org.uk/index.html).

Battle of the Beavers Presentation Night -

“Battle of the Beavers” is an entrepreneurial competition created to fundraise (for Leonard Cheshire Disability), raise awareness of the range of disabilities that exist and encourage innovative ways to improve accessibility.  Please purchase a ticket (only £1) to help raise money and to view the creative excellence of enterprising LSE students.  You will have the chance to vote for your favourites in a few different categories.  D502 will have displays of the presentations for you to browse.  D602 will be the judging room.  Both are wheelchair accessible and I am trying to make sure there is a microphone and induction loop in the judging room.
